Three new NCCOS-funded projects will expand harmful algal bloom research across Alaska, which has seen a recent increase in the frequency of HABs which threaten food security.
- Advance understanding of HAB impacts on Alaska Native communities and developing new directions for research, monitoring, and mitigation across coastal Alaska
- Understand the distribution and impact of unprecedented cyanobacterial blooms and their toxins in estuaries within the Alaskan Arctic circle
- Identify HAB toxin accumulation, exposure risks, and impacts in Alaskan Arctic marine food resources and share findings with Alaskan communities
